2009 TVB series (Jan-June)

Title: The Gem Of LifeEpisodes: 82Main Stars: Gigi Lai, Ada Choi, Maggie Siu, Moses Chan, Bowie Lam, Wong Hei, Linda Chung, Bosco WongRecommendation: NO unless you have a LOT of time to watch thisOther Comments: The first half is really boring and there's a lot of business talk. It gets a little more interesting in the end so if they had managed to cut the whole series in half, it would have been better. Even for such a long series, they don't really develop the characters and the storyline properly. My favorite story line involved Wong Hei and Linda Chung but that's only a tiny portion of the series. Ada is really good here though.

Title: E.U.Episodes: 30Main Stars: Ron Ng, Sammul Chan, Michael Miu, Michael Tse, Kathy ChowRecommendation: YESOther Comments: I think this is my favorite series of the year. The whole story was really great and the acting is pretty good as well. This was also another breakout series for Michael Tse because his character got so popular that they based a movie around him!

Title: The Winter Melon TaleEpisodes: 20Main Stars: Sunny Chan, Louisa SoRecommendation: NOOther Comments: It's an ancient series revolving a fairy tale. If you liked, Ten Brothers, you'll probably like it but the whole thing was kind of silly. I did think it was cute but other people would probably not care for it much.

Title: The King of SnookerEpisodes: 20Main Stars: Adam Cheng, Niki Chow, Patrick Tang, Joyce TangRecommendation: NOOther Comments: If they had replaced Patrick Tang with a more handsome and better actor, it might have been more interesting because his acting is too bland to bring some life to this series. The couples were boring too and I barely remember what happened.

Title: Rosy BusinessEpisodes: 25Main Stars: Wayne Lai, Sheren Teng, Ron NgRecommendation: YESOther Comments: This is one series where most of the people can really act. Wayne and Sheren really deserved their Best Actor and Actress award! The story revolves around 4 wives fighting for power and Wayne tries and stand by Sheren through the whole thing. It's a great series that had me at the edge of my seat and there will be characters that you hate, that you love, and that you will cry and root for.

Title: Man In ChargeEpisodes: 20Main Stars: Kenneth Ma, Leila Tong, Kate TsuiRecommendation: NOOther Comments: This was filmed a long time ago as evidenced by Kate's really short bangs and chubbier face (and bad acting). I can't even remember how this ends but if you're a fan of Kenneth and Leila, then you should watch it.

Title: Just Love IIEpisodes: 25Main Stars: Jessica Hsuan, Sunny Chan, Joyce Tang, Johnson LeeRecommendation: YES if you liked the first partOther Comments: To be honest, I don't know why they chose this series of any of the TVB series to make a sequel for. Patrick Tang and Selena Li make a cameo in a few episodes in the beginning and the rest of the series is reminiscent of the first series in which cases are interwined with their family drama.

Title: The Threshold of A PersonaEpisodes: 26Main Stars: Roger Kwok, Yoyo MungRecommendation: NOOther Comments: This is another boring series so I would only recommend it if you are a fan of the stars. The story revolves around working in immigration, which isn't really the most fascinating topic.

Title: Sweetness in the SaltEpisodes: 25Main Stars: Steven Ma, Tavia Yeung, Raymond WongRecommendation: YESOther Comments: I love this series! My only gripe would be that they could have cut the series down to 20 episodes but other than that, I love the whole progression of the story. The love triange between the 3 main leads is one of the best I've seen TVB do because they don't make anyone the villian just so you would root for one side more than the other. I wish this series got better ratings because Raymond Wong did such a fantastic job with his character.
